Hanging In There February 19, 2005

I guess there’s really not much else to do at this point. Of course I’ve been googling every combination of words possible in reference to low beta situations. I’m not driving myself crazy, though. I know that this could go either way. So, while I’m definitely not celebrating or letting the “p-word” cross my lips, I’m not freaking out either.

I think the reason I’m not in panic mode is because this doesn’t seem real. It’s like I’m watching it happen to someone else. I never expected to get a positive beta, so everything from yesterday’s phone call on has seemed like some kind of weird alternate reality. I guess it just hasn’t sunk in yet.

Monday will be here eventually, and we’ll have more to go on after we get the results of beta #2. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get a great number, but as we all know, nothing is predictable in this crazy IVF world. I just hope I don’t get snapped right back into reality.

There has certainly been a spate of low initial betas surging lately… so I’m hoping you just get added to that list. Thinking of you.
